Back in action

Good morning!  Sorry about my absence, I'm sure you have all just been dying to get me back ;).  In my absence I completed a few things worth noting.  First of all, I did my first speed workout this year!

I ran 6 miles, doing 4x6 minutes at below race pace speed. By the fourth one I was definitely feeling the burn! 


Also, I figured something out about myself this week.  I think I am obsessed with cooking.  Which I guess is a good thing.  It makes me so happy to try a new recipe and have it be a success, and have my Hubby like it (I have to mention he is not picky AT ALL, thank goodness).  I feel like there are so many people who don't cook, understandably they have busy schedules etc.  But I feel sad for them, because they are missing out on some great times, doing lots of dishes, and learning about all the health benefits of making stuff yo' self!  Thanks mom for always cooking us homemade meals, and getting me pumped about trying stuff that is weird (like healthy molasses cookies ;)).


As for training, it is going really well!  I never could have imagined how good I would feel after two monthes of TRI training, (yes 2 monthes already!!) Thanks for your continued support and love!
